Dear Piergiorgio,
I found your information on the cost of getting data very interesting.
This the kind of thing we need to collect more of if we are to make a
convincing case about the benefits of open geodata so I've just created
a page where we could add this sort of information at:
http://www.publicgeodata.org/Cost_Of_Geodata
Regards,
Rufus Pollock

Good point Paolo,
have a look here ... http://sit.geographics.it/Web_SigProvFe/Home.html

it's a just released service by a Provincia di Ferrara selling dwg tiles
of its topographic map.
You can register, view and download copies.
DWG, of course, can be converted using free tools, but you will probably
loose information.
Furthermore: DWG is graphic, not geographic!
And, more important, many public admins are actually SELLING dwg files:
in the case mentioned above the entire map will cost you more than 37K €
!!!

Hi all.
Here in Italy we're having troubles with public admin releasing data in
DWG format (unusable with free tools, as you know). We're thinking to
start a "StopDWG" campaign.
What are your feelings about this?
All the best.
